The Bakers Arms in Blaby

Went for the Sunday Carvery. It was really tasty and hot. We had ordered the Carvery with pudding but were too full to eat the pudding so they were kind enough to put in a takeaway box. Will defo return but advise that you book ahead.

Always a treat to come here. Love the atmosphere. Didn't eat

Came to Bakers Arms Inn for a work meal on a Friday evening. Nice venue with lovely food. Service was good and atmosphere was pleasant. I ordered the Catcj of the day, with colleagues ordering the risotto and Tiger pie, all of which were well presented and tasted good.

Lovely historic and atmospheric pub. Had a great meal here, all lovely freshly prepared and great friendly service. Can't wait to visit again.

Wow, what a fantastic little pub. Well, it's worth a visit and the food is great. 5 stars from me

Great Christmas dinner with the family, food was good and definitely going back.

Very oldy worldly pub that serves good beers and food and it's fully booked for Xmas °

Such a lovely cosy pub, been here twice now for a roast dinner which is absolutely fantastic. The meat was cooked perfectly. Also some slight variation between Sunday menus to make it more seasonal. Really attentive staff and good value for money. Would 100% recommend!

Came in for a pint but was turned away at 2300 we were told It was closed By the bar tender. Despite sign saying 0000 closing. Less than friendly staff and there were lots of people enjoying them self and having drinks. Try another place first.

As a polish person from the city with hundreds of great quality restaurants (which serve real food, not ready meals and frozen crap) I must say that this is the best you can get in Leicester and area around. Worth recommendation food and interior is amazing!

A brilliant old fashion pub with nice staff and a great atmosphere.

Visité para mis hermanos 30 cumpleaños en un sábado por la noche ocupado y toda la experiencia fue completamente maravilloso. Todo el personal desde el momento en que llegamos era increíblemente acogedor, amable y atento y nada era demasiado problema. La comida en sí era de calidad absoluta del restaurante y todo estaba cocinado a la perfección. Como grupo tuvimos Pato, el pastel Grete y la carbonara, todos los cuales eran absolutamente impresionantes y el entrante de huevo escocés Venado es absolutamente imprescindible probar! Todos los postres también eran fantásticos. Este es un lugar donde puede haber menos opciones en el menú, pero eso es claramente porque toda la comida está recién preparada y todo cocinado a la perfección. Quítate el sombrero a todo el personal de Bakers Arms por hacer que nuestra familia se reúna tan maravillosa de principio a fin.

Place is very small. They sat us on a table that meant my friend had to keep getting up and down from her seat to allow waiters and other patrons to pass. Not reasonable when you are trying to enjoy a meal. The food came out burnt. Specifically the Yorkshire puddings and the chocolate brownie. The vegetables were hard and undercooked. The portions of meat were very small, and despite pre ordering our meal we were left waiting for 45 minutes. The squid starter was very very small also, like 3 tiny cuttings. Its a shame, as we have ate here a few years ago and the food was second to none, and they hadn't crammed in so much seating. They must have a new chef or something. I wiill mention they discounted my bill slightly for the burnt food. But we will not be returning.

Lovely cosy old pub and felt like you had gone back in time. Only had a drink but food menu looked good and because of this have booked for boxing day. There was a long delay before getting the drink but worth the wait.

Food was excellent. Cooked just to my liking. Service was good and the young staff worked well as a team. Well worth their increases in the minimum wage!! I’ve been going into the Arms since 1974 and I’m sure the beams are getting lower so small, cosy and very traditional.

A gem of olde English pub life with cosy places to sit and delicious Sunday roast served by lovely people.

Very friendly staff..good atmosphere and a great gin collection

I really like the bakers arms. It's a really beautiful old pub, the people, food and drink are always nice. I just wish I could afford it a bit more often.

Great beer, great attitude and brilliant service everytime 👏

Great local pub, reasonably priced with a lovely beer garden and more seating in the courtyard area.

I don't like it, and I would never recommend it to anyone.

As someone who has dined at the Bakers Arms on many occasions over the last three years, it is incredibly disheartening to see the multitude of fake reviews I can see have recently been left (all within 1hr of each other from one friendship group - none of which who have dined at the bakers arms recently - or at all for that matter.....). The food here is always fresh and delicious, and their 5* EHO rating would say otherwise to any claims of the building being unkept or 'dirty' as one disgruntled ex-employee (and their friends) seems to have claimed. The award winning pub has used fresh, local suppliers in and around the Blaby district since it opened, and the fact that the first reviewers' only claim of 'unfresh' ingredients being used is 'spread' instead of butter makes this all seem like it has been posted with an ulterior motive. It seems to me that the previous reviewer has been let go for not meeting the high standards being set by this amazing village pub, and I sincerely hope anyone reading these reviews can see past their angry rambles of lies. I can guarantee anyone who has *actually* dined or visited this lovely pub (who does not have ulterior motives like this ex-employee and their friends) will be able to see and taste the fresh, clean and delicious food being served 7 days a week. Sincerely, Someone who has actually visited this pub and eaten their food. (P.S the false reviews claiming the bakers arms to be a 'cafe' shows how lazily they have produced these lies. As a tip - next time perhaps research what the place you're slandering actually is before spewing your lies for the internet to see ;))

A wonderful place with an amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and, of course, delicious food will make your evening unforgettable. I ordered the Pan seared fillet of red mullet and was simply delighted with the combination of delicious food and beautiful presentation of the dish. I will definitely visit this place again.

Really great food in the restaurant,

Great find. Several veggie options. Lovely desserts 😄

A recent visit demonstrated a high level of flavour for both vegetarian and meat dishes. Recommended for a romantic meal too. Brilliant triple cooked chips! Great for a special meal or bar bites such as Tex Mex chips.

El pub en sí es encantador y acogedor con velas, etc. El personal me pareció muy atento y no tuvimos que esperar mucho tiempo para nuestras bebidas y comida. Pedimos el almuerzo del domingo. Mi marido pidió puré de patatas en lugar de patatas asadas y el camarero le dijo que usaron todo el puré ayer. Lo que implica que la comida no es fresca. Las 2 Bruselas se congelaron como era de esperar en septiembre. El queso de coliflor era duro y no podía cortarlo. La zanahoria que teníamos estaba bien. Hay un montón de verduras de temporada en esta época del año que habría sido mejor que lo que teníamos en nuestro plato. En cuanto a la opción vegetariana solo había una para elegir.

Maravilloso pub con un excelente equipo que lo dirige. Gran comida buena cerveza e hicieron un trabajo particularmente bueno de sus panaderos fest hoy. Estaba muy ocupado y estaban bien encima de la ocupación.

Este es sin duda un pub encantador. Lamentablemente el servicio fue terrible. Pedir bebidas tomó una edad y la gama de bebidas era pobre para un establecimiento con esta clase. El servicio de mesa, tardó una eternidad en llegar la comida pero a su crédito la comida era buena. Falta total de urgencia en todo momento.

Great little pub food did look good

Food was great. Lovely garden and interior. Cozy and intimate. A great place for a date.

Estamos en unas vacaciones en barcaza y buscando algún lugar para una comida de buena calidad , tristemente hasta ahora realmente difícil de encontrar, sin embargo encontramos esto y tuvimos la mejor comida todos disfrutamos con la comida y el servicio muy bueno y la factura fue una sorpresa también. Esperaríamos £ 100 por cabeza de donde venimos, así que esto era una buena relación calidad-precio también. Servicio amable de alta calidad 5 estrellas bien ganado aquí.

Our beautiful local! We only live down the road and have been using the bakers for a few years now. They have the best offer around with a good range of drinks and food to cater for all! We often order from the garden menu or pop in for Sunday lunch and have never had an issue. Staff are always friendly and there to help which makes previous reviews confusing to read as not a true reflection of our brilliant local. Don't let them put you off!

We are long-time patrons of the Bakers Arms in Blaby, having eaten there many times. Yesterday we had our wedding anniversary dinner there. I opted for the catch of the day (haddock) and my wife chose the risotto. We also had a sharing appetizer of bread and olives. Before we finished our appetizer the mains were unceremoniously plonked on the table in front of us. My fish was well overcooked and had dried out inside the batter. The batter was very dark brown (black in places) and very crunchy where it should have been light brown and crisp. The fish flesh was dry where it should have been moist. The chips were also overcooked, dark brown and very crunchy - not such a problem with chips, but still not perfect. To be fair, when the waiter asked if everything was OK I said 'no' and explained why. He did offer to change the meal, but it was too late by then. If I was the chef I would have been ashamed to send out my fish meal. I suspect that my meal had been cooked some time earlier (hence being overcooked) and that's why were were rushed to finish our appetizer. Not a great experience (costing £80), but I will not write them off yet based upon past good experiences.

Best Sunday lunch and desserts I have had in a long time. Competitively priced and well worth a visit. Thank you to all the staff for making this such a lovely experience. It's very rare these . Keep up the good work and and we shall definitely be returning. -

great find. excellent food. country pub in town

Thank you The Bakers Arms for another wonderful night of great food wine and memories. Special thanks to Chris Ed George and Liam.

Lovely pub, very well ran and pleasant, oodles of character and superb lunches!! Please send my compliments to the Chef.

Real hidden gem of a classic olde worlde pub. Lovely garden spaces, bar area for a drink, dog friendly, tardis like restaurant, brilliant chef with a delicious and inventive menu. Great evening for good value and wonderful food.

Good beer garden/ covered for outdoor drinking.

Lovely pub, food was delicious. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Very quaint beautiful building, food is excellent and a goo beer selection, a lovely beer garden, access via steps

Had a couple of superb meals here now The menu has plenty to choose from and everything is cooked to perfection - staff are incredibly helpful and very friendly which is always a good indication of a lovely run restaurant/pub - always nice as well to sit in such a old building with all its past history. Inside or outside the atmosphere is very relaxed, definitely the place to go this summer.

Absolutely loved the Sunday roast, highly recommend it and the staff were working very hard and were friendly as nd accommodating 👍

First time visiting The Bakers Arms today and what a gem! Great features, lovely atmosphere and amazing Sunday lunch, will definitely be returning, staff were all friendly and professional despite being very busy, loved it! Thank you

I'm 6 foot, this place was built when people weren't 6 foot. However if you're looking for a historic place for a cool pint, this is it.

Visited on a Saturday lunchtime with a group of walkers. Staff had been very accommodating with preordering of food and several amendments to the order. Service was great. Food delicious. We all had a lovely time.

Wow amazing food but it wasn't just the food it was the special care we received for our ill Mum. Thank you from Mum and 2 daughters

Food is always great. Been again tonight, can't fault it... again x friendly staff, nice place with busy bar. Updated 21Apr22 - have a restaurant menu and a bar menu, equally great. Sat outside and ordered from the similar bar menu. Would recommend again

If you wish to step back in time and enjoy a meal and ale. I recommend this place. Very friendly service

Having a great evening until they called last orders at 9:45. Then the woman who was cleaning down had no customer service skills, used abrupt single phrases to tell us to drink up and go. Manager was very "apologetic" but equally rude about closing times, which, according to here aren't until 12 and the 10pm closure isn't made clear. We understood that closing is closing, but it is how things are said, and this was beyond lacking.

Fantastic evening lovley food guys but stake was A little red for a well done but still nice so would recommend

Food is excellent. My only negative was I felt cold.

A lovely public house bags of character very good staff food very good rather large portions making it a bit expensive

Eight of us went for a family get together and I Couldn't fault the food or the staff. Lovely Sunday lunch followed by the best Eton Mess we've ever had.

Get in early if you want a seat. It gets busy. Beautifully quaint building. Mind the step!

Mind your head. If you're tall, beware. Quaint and charming.

Nice Sunday dinner lovely old pub low beams lovely atmosphere.

Really lovely evening with sisters and daughter. Great menu choice.

Food amazing ,atmosphere great, service pleasant and welcoming what more could you ask for

Quaint old pub, we had the Xmas menu that was excellent as was the old original beer highly recommend. The only down side was the poor aim of customers in the toilets.

Excellent service warm welcome and very good food

Decline since being restaurant pub side very crowded and at 9 on a Friday they still kept the restaurant side closed off for even though it's empty. When they could of let the pub side flow into it. It's almost like they don't want to make a profit. From experience you get some munchies after drinking a little and they still could of sold food.

Disappointed as we went for a special occasion on a Monday, we booked. 1hr30 waiting for mains, plates cold, 2 out of 5 meals were not warm steak, chips and battered onion rings, and fish, chips they were cooked nicely but not hot by the time we got them. Service was poor, after first drink, we were offered complimentary bread and olives due to waiting times, but if we knew we had to wait that long, probably would have gone somewhere else. We had to ask for extra drinks after an hour. One staff member did say food wouldn't be long, just before it came out. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known how long we had to sit for. We were offered one free pudding as an apology but had birthday cake at home so we weren't ordering puddings.They weren't busy. Unfortunately won't be going again as it wasn't worth the money.

Been going to the Bakers for years, had my husbands 50th birthday meal a few years back with family, couldn't fault, delicious food, great service. Same to be said for numerous visits for Sunday lunch and evening meals. Unfortunately after looking forward to not cooking dinner at home, we were disappointed with todays Sunday lunch. Moved table due to the cold draught, not enough choice on the wine list for Rose, starters were average, main course was poor, the so called "cauliflower and brocolli cheese" consisted only of cauliflower, which was so hard, could barely eat it, couldn't see or taste any cheese, it was so dry. Potatoes were very bland, gravy was watery runny and temperature was just warm. Had desserts, crumble was nice, again temperature was barely warm for the custard. Overall for a regularly visited great place to eat and drink, felt very disappointed today, after checking the bill, 2 extra pints had been added in error, staff did rectify no problem, and felt £150 for 4 of us was very overpriced for the poor quality.

Großartiger Pub. Gemütlich, schwere Holzeinrichtung und eine tolle kleine Karte mit einer Auswahl zum Essen.

We visited briefly but first impressions were very good. A very old pub with a lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff and well kept Everard's beers. We'll be back.

Very nice atmosphere. Highly recommended

Love this little pub. Only warning is mind your head with the low ceiling. 😂

Lovely snug, heritage pub - great atmosphere - low ceilings, candles, beautiful decor (and loos) perfect pints and friendly service!

Food and portions were brilliant but steak sandwiches were over cooked

Very nice place,good food and staff very helpful and polite

Good portions and plenty of veg, Yorkshire was a bit disapointing. Also a reminder to. People working in the food industry that touching of hair and face whilst seving food is not permitted due to hygiene. One of the servers did not seem to grasp this.

Really beautiful historic pub, I used to come here with my cousins many moons ago. We came in on the off chance, it was very busy - they managed to accommodate us. The service was attentive, friendly and professional. The food was exquisite. Really tasty and filling. I eat a lot but after a shared starter and main, I couldn’t contemplate a dessert course. I will definitely return. Full marks all round, Chris C

Wonderful meal yesterday. The soup was very filling and thick. The roast dinner was excellent and the service was very good. This is a very old building which gave great atmosphere and included wooden beams. Head height was a challenge but the restaurant was full and they found us a table although we hadn’t booked. I enjoyed the cast ales and was pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived. May have limited access for wheelchairs.

The place was 'rammed', but we still got served promptly & politely, which made our 'get together' all the more pleasurable. Also, the food was very good.

Booked a table for our son’s graduation as our usual go to restaurant is closed for refurbishment and not disappointed. The service and food were exceptional, we particularly liked the Richard III pie Although the table was a bit of a squeeze for 8 of us, the service and food certainly made up for it I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Lovely shabby chic restaurant, food lovely, staff great 👍. Only 2 tables taken, but we dined at 7 pm? Loads of people in garden drinking as sunny evening. Will be back. Expensive, but so many places are. Nice for a romantic evening. Photos don't do justice.

Great food, lovely old building and good service too.

amazing night at the bakers (as always) went to the psychic night with friends, amazing food, service and atmosphere. would definitely go again! well done wills and the team

Attended the psychic night on Monday, had a great evening with lovely service lovely food. The psychics were amazing and me and my friends had such a laugh. Will definitely be returning! Couldn’t recommend the bakers arms psychic night enough!

went to the last psychic night and it was lit. had the most fun. food was perfect, and the service was amazing. would like to praise Alice for her amazing service, so friendly and welcoming. will definitely be returning, especially as they played taylor swift !!!

Ok so booked the psychic evening for mums Mother’s Day present, she likes stuff spread throughout the year. Paid the deposit and told the final amount would be taken from the same card on the day of event, no issues there on par with other establishments. The 5/6 course meal…. Disappointing to say the least, all served at room temperature, lacking taste and quality. Smoked salmon gravlax…. Nice wording for what was actually smoked salmon straight from the packet rolled in to circles, no dill or seasoning near it. The gazpacho just needed some tortillas to dip in because it was actually just a salsa sauce! Pork over cooked and no crispy crackling and let’s be fair it’s all about the cracking. The pub cannot be responsible for the psychics which we’re probably some folk from and old folks home out on a jolly. But the icing on the cake was getting a call some 5 minutes after leaving to say we hadn’t paid our bill! MORTIFIED. Obviously paid in fall but the slant in my character nearly as hard to swallow as the food! Not to be repeated! Fancy names like amuse bouche, palette cleanser and gravlax should really be used by those that can produce the products they advertise! What a crock!

Excellent food ( I had the duck), and great service. We shall definitely be returning!

Beautiful pub, lovely gardens, great staf. Slightly more expensive that other local pubs but much nicer.

Great pub, Nice friendly staff.

Wonderful Medieval pub. Lovely ambience, attentive and professional service. Great food! We will most definitely be returning. 😊

The nicest place to eat out for miles in any direction.

Hope chef is better after being taken to hospital. Disappointed our special birthday meal booked for 1/5/23 was cancelled. Understanding we were only people booked in for tonite.

Lovely pub in Blaby. We really enjoyed our Sunday roast. The service was on point too!

Lovely Lovely Pub...very welcoming and cosy

Gorgeous country cottage style pub. Perfect for the vertically challenged (short) like myself. Beautiful decor and friendly staff.

Wanted to get out of the city centre and try somewhere new and this place had good reviews. The food wasn't bad but for the prices I was expecting a little bit more from it. I had the tiger pie and partner had the duck, both fine but a little underwhelming. Delightful banoffee pie. Main issue by far is the height of the ceilings, if you're 6 foot or over you have to walk like some kind of ogre to get out the building to the loo. Smacked my head hard on a beam coming back in. If you live local worth a visit, if not then wouldn't bother.

A brilliant pub , such a wonderful place to be in. Lived in Leicestershire for 54 years and this was my first visit but not my last.

Had a great roast dinner for four of us today. Nice quality food. Under £20 per head for two courses.

Lovely and quiet. Nice meal. We had the steak. Staff we great. Only downside is I’m 6ft 5 and had to keep bent over due to the period features. Otherwise a lovely experience

Just a Lovely traditional Village Pub.. 😁🍻

Friendly staff, good atmosphere. Great food and great service. What more could you want.

Been to eat here twice after looking on there Web site saying they are serving food on there page. drove 30 mins to get there for them to say no food today needs updating
